From international football . Seems that he can't differentiate from being German or Turkish. His acceptance of Erdogan is not popular in the anti Merkel population and he is copping the blame for their poor showing in Russia. It would appear that he is number one scapegoat wherever he goes.

Assists since his debut in 2013: 50, the next best is Erikson with 48 and Silva with 44Number of chances created: 476 the next best is Erikson with 474 and Hazard with 422

People wet themselves over Erikson and Hazard but Ozil gets stick from his own fans (me included)

Incredibly 72m people follow Ozil on Social Media 20 million more than the next footballer.

If you want to use stats... Hazard has scored more than twice as many league goals as Ozil in that timeframe. Never mind chances, Hazard was busy sticking it in the net.

Dozens of players have scored more goals than Ozil and Hazard combined but none have made more assists and chances. It doesn`t matter if Ozil scores or not as long as his play allows other players to score.

Could be just what we need to get the best out of of him. A fresh start for him to prove the doubters including myself wrong.I think Wenger treated him with kid gloves did not help and hope that Emerys approach will give him and the team the lift required.

“ Arsenal come streaming forward now in surely what will be their last attack. A good ball by Dixon, finding Smith, for Thomas, charging through the midfield. Thomas, it's up for grabs now! Thomas! ”
